Ingredients

Cracker Topping

  • 1 Cup Vegan cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Vegan Parmesan or cheddar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter, melted

For The Casserole

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees(F).
  • In a small bowl, make the topping. Toss the cracker crumbs, vegan cheese, and spices together. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and toss again. Set aside.
  • Now, start the casserole in a large pot. Heat the vegan butter on medium high. Once it has melted, add the garlic.
  • Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then pour in the flour and stir to combine the butter and flour. Making a paste(roux).
  • Let the roux cook for 1-2 minutes. Then pour in the non-dairy milk. Whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps of flour left.
  • Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer until it thickens. Whisking frequently. About 5 minutes.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and the nutmeg. Whisk.
  • Then pour the vegetable broth into the pot and whisk again.
  • Bring back to a simmer, then add the vegan cheese. Whisk frequently until the cheese has melted into the sauce and it is nice and thick.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Pour the broccoli florets into the pot and toss to thoroughly combine the broccoli with the sauce.
  • Pour the broccoli and all the sauce into a 13x9 inch baking dish. Smooth out evenly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the top. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown and the broccoli is tender.
  • It will still look a little liquidy, but will thicken as you let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then serve!
